The Circular Economy Expert/Designer: Ida Urmas, Circular Designer at Ethica Ltd.

The project: Cradle to Cradle™ Pilot Project for Textiles

Ida will be discussing her role as a Circular Designer in a Cradle to Cradle™ Pilot Project for Textiles. The project consisted of 16 running certification collections including products such as pyjamas, casual wear, house shoes and bedwear. She was using Cradle to Cradle™ as a framework for product development and researching circular materials, processes and partnerships to produce clean and safe garments for the biosphere and for the mass market. New innovation was also developed during the project: World’s first biodegredable printing paste in C2C gold level.

The Designer: Dan Mikkin, partner and service designer at BrandManual

The project: Circular strategy development for a large textile manufacturer (NDA)

Dan will talk about how they mapped the existing sustainable practices in a large textile manufacturing company in Estonia. Some sustainability responsibilities, intentions, and standards were already in place but a comprehensive and measured vision was to be developed. He used a circular model as a guide for the company and he will share with us what it took to get it established. The reality is not a full circle yet but the 360 goal is in everybody’s sight now.
